This classification denotes the group of activities that yields a surgical intervention or procedure to bypass left internal iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with autologous arterial tissue, open approach. This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 041F0AK

UNSPSC 85512036 Bypass left internal iliac artery to bilateral femoral arteries with autologous arterial tissue, open approach is a Commodity code that nominally describes a specific surgical procedure, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show no alignment with vascular surgical services. Instead, the most recent solicitations tagged to this code cover occupational medical surveillance, pharmacy benefit management, disability medical evaluations, surgical benefit carve-outs for employee health plans, emergency and specialty medical services for detained youth, and temporary health professional staffing — none of which involve the vascular bypass procedure the code nominally names. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that this code has been repurposed inconsistently across issuing bodies. The work actually being solicited under this code spans diverse medical administration, occupational health compliance, and staffing services rather than surgical intervention.

The issuing bodies include state departments (Washington State Department of Transportation), county governments (Harris County, Collier County, Santa Clara County), city retirement systems (City of Phoenix), and municipal workforce health programs (City of Long Beach). Geographic activity appears in Arizona, California, Florida, Texas, and Washington. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Retirement Office's RFP for independent medical evaluation services for disability pension determinations (RTMRFP26001, due October 16, 2026), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance across 14 ferry system locations (RFP20260825, due October 9, 2026 with pre-bid August 31, 2026), and Collier County's RFP for pharmacy benefit management services covering approximately 2,400 employees and 4,800 covered members (RFP 25-8414, due April 9, 2026). The code shows material recent activity, but the disconnect between the Commodity's stated scope and actual procurement demand warrants clarification before pursuit.
